Louis Rivers, Ph.D., looks back at the accomplishments of a successful black family in Savannah, Georgia, with a detailed family history that celebrates hard work, black pride, and faith.The author has known the Simmons family his entire life, having gone to East Broad Street Elementary Public School with the Simmons, then to Beach Cuyler Public High Schools with the Simmons, and on to Georgia State College (now Savannah State University) with the Simmons. He also attended St. James A.M.E. Church with the Simmons.Beginning in 1920 when Walter Wallie Simmons married Daisy Alice Simmons, you’ll follow the family on their journey from Bluffton, South Carolina, to Savannah. By the time they moved with their first four children-Marie, John, Nellie, and Bessie-the Simmons were already confirmed A.M.E. Christians committed to the teachings of Jesus.The Simmons became one of Savannah’s most supreme, hardest-working families, and despite the many struggles they faced during World War I, the Great Depression, World War II, the Cold War years, and Jim Crowism, they have survived and prospered.Celebrate the value of never giving up, and discover insights on achieving success with The Sun Shines on the Simmons Family in Savannah, Ga.
